Personal care products comprise a vast array of forms, intended applications, and associated consumer habits and practices (CHP). From a microbiological standpoint, the properties of personal care products occupy a unique niche:

- Intimate contact with consumer;
- Often subject to ongoing contamination;
- Extended shelf life; and
- Little post purchase microbial control (e.g., refrigeration).
